Background
Trias Consult Ltd, provides specialised consultancy services in international development, resilience building and humanitarian response, to the public and private sectors and civil society. Trias Consult Ltd’s core services span all aspects of policy, strategy and programme development and management in contexts of crisis, climate change, resilience, and violent conflict. We have our headquarters in the United Kingdom, with key advisors based in Europe, Africa and the United States.
In the Horn of Africa, Trias has a strong track record in providing monitoring, analytical and design services for international institutions. Since 2016, we have engaged in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan and the countries of the IGAD region in projects that have covered themes of recovery, resilience, and development; peace, security and stabilisation; and climate conflict and migration. We have strong local networks and a deep understanding of the contexts in which we engage.
Trias has on-going third-party monitoring assignments in the Horn of Africa region and is looking to expand this portfolio of work. These assignments have provided clients with ongoing insights on high-profile programme implementation, allowing adjustments to be made towards better outcomes. The need for this work is increasing in our focal geographies and as a result we are seeking qualified candidates to lead these types of assignments. Much of the work involves managing highly experienced teams remotely, with targeted field visits.
